EA Sports have announced that they are putting $1.3 million on the line for the next EA Major Series event that will focus on FIFA 17 over the next 12 months.

It begins with weekly competitive games in FUT Champions mode where each week you must compete for in-game rewards and climb the leader boards. Qualifiers will begin in October, but you must compete in the FUT Champions mode first.

Top players from the Ultimate Team Championship Series will also be invited to compete in a revamped FIFA Interactive World Cup. During this time players from around the world will be given the chance to qualify in February, with a Grand Champion being crowned in August.

The competition in FUT Champions is only available to those playing on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. Qualifications for Ultimate Team Championship Series is only for Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
